Bobbie & Robert "Lee" McWright"The Music City Pig Pals"

In May of 2006 Bobbie & I had the privilege of meeting the Mitchell and Hillman families, better known as American Barbecue Systems. That meeting changed our barbecue life in a very positive way. Over the next 18 months (using the Pit Boss & All Star) we've competed in 36 events, finishing in the top 10 overall in 24. Winning the Grand Championship at The Best of the Best in 2006.
All three models lead the way in craftsmanship and engineering, meaning they are built for life and yes they perform flawlessly.
The baffle system between the fire box and cooking chamber give the cook options they haven't had before. The state of the art clean out system makes cleanup and storage a breeze. Over the years Bobbie and I have cooked on a number of different units, but for true barbecue flavor and unit efficiency, American Barbecue Systems surpasses all.
Who says change isn't good.
